• Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 194: TOO LATE

  ANDREA’S POVThe dining room looked like a war room.Maps and reports covered every inch of the table, the TV was muted but still playing the news on loop, and the weight of the stress was so heavy that every one of us looked like we hadn’t slept in days.The scent of cheese and tomato sauce hung thick in the air, but despite how delicious Fabio’s lasagna looked, no one seemed to be able to stomach food.“I still say we push for a public statement,” Gina said, arms crossed over her chest. “Control the narrative before the mayor does any more damage.”“No.” That came from Kade, low and firm. His secretary, David, and the head of his sentinels, Richard, stood quietly behind him, observing, waiting for orders.“We don’t have proof. Not yet. If we speak now, it’ll only draw more attention to the factory and its staff. We can’t counter shit if we don’t have concrete evidence.”“Then we sow discord,” Fabio said, fingers tapping restlessly against his coffee mug. “Just enough to discredit th

• Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 193: I WANT JUSTICE

  BELLA’S POVIt felt like everything was falling apart.From the moment Nico came into my room, informing me that I had to exit the factory with the rest of the staff, to when I stepped out into the bright chaos of flashing lights and rising voices.Packed like sardines with the staff, snippets of what was going on filtered into my ears all around me.‘The kidnappings…’‘Alpha’s behind it? No fucking way!’‘I heard they found evidence. Files, or some bullshit.’‘What’s going to happen?’‘No fucking clue.’Now, I hugged my knees to myself, curling up on an unfamiliar single bed in an unfamiliar room. The walls were a cheerful collage of bright colors and cartoon characters that contrasted with the dread sitting heavy in my stomach.I could hear the chaos downstairs, muffled by the walls and the floor between us.Alpha Andrea’s home had been turned into a base of operations of sorts. She and Alpha Kade, along with her friend, Julia, Gina, Fabio, Nico, and two members of Kade’s pack whose

• Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 192: SEVEN DAYS

  ANDREA’S POVThe air felt too thick. I couldn’t breathe. My legs locked in place, as if moving might somehow make the nightmare more real.That file—the file of all the fucking missing people—was in my office.How the fuck had it gotten there?Behind me, I heard Kade’s breath catch—a sharp, bitten-off inhale that told me exactly how bad this looked. Worse than bad. Catastrophic.Not just for me—but for everything I’d built in New York.Red Water Pack's relation with all the other packs. My factory. The shaky, fragile threads of trust we’d spun with the human world.Gone. All of it. With a file folder and four vials of goddess-knows-what.“I want the lab results expedited,” Blackstone was saying, addressing his aides like some smug CEO of justice. “Chain of custody needs to be airtight. I want analysis within 48 hours.”“Mayor Blackstone—” I tried, stepping forward.“No.” His voice cracked across the room like a whip. “You don’t speak right now unless it’s to admit how deep this goes.”

  ANDREA’S POVFrom the moment the news hit, everything exploded.The phones wouldn’t stop ringing. Reporters clustered outside the factory gates like vultures in human clothes.Protesters had already started gathering by the time Kade and I stepped out into the chaos—some waving hand-painted signs, others shoving even more cameras in our faces.The tension hung in the air like a storm cloud, dark and humming with static.As I beheld the havoc, my heart sank to the pit of my stomach.This place—my factory—had been created to represent progress, peace, and collaboration between wolves and humans.That had once been threatened by the potion/plague fiasco. But this…This was much worse.Now, it looked like a crime scene. Police cruisers lined the curb. Yellow tape crisscrossed the entrance. And at the center of it all stood Mayor Blackstone, flanked by two stiff-looking aides and a small a

• Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 190: IT’S GETTING WORSE

  ANDREA’S POV“Alphas, we have another one.”I sucked in a breath, fighting the urge to scream. Gina stood hesitantly at the door, clutching the landline like it might bite her. Or I might.In hindsight, we probably shouldn’t have told the packs we visited to contact us if they had any leads. And we definitely shouldn't have set up a hotline for the general public to report suspicious disappearances.Since then, we’d been buried in a flood of reports—ranging from “I think the guy I’m dating plans to kidnap me” to “My ex isn’t responding to my texts. She must have been kidnapped.”Some were credible—real cases that matched the patterns we were investigating.The headache was sorting through the noise, trying to filter what was serious and what was garbage.“Give it here,” Kade said, extending a hand toward Gina.I gave him a grateful smile a

  NICO’S POVBella was easily one of the most beautiful things I’d ever seen.But now, as she stormed towards me, it was like she took on a new form—ethereal, borderline otherworldly.And when she grabbed Clara’s hand and tore it away from my chest, shoving her away, my heart skipped a beat.She planted herself between us, the warmth of her body seeping into me.“Get the fuck away from him,” she repeated with a—hold up, growl?Clara’s eyes widened as she took a step back, her hands up. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t—”She gasped sharply, and my eyes widened when Bella slapped a hand against her chest, shoving Clara back so hard that she hit the wall behind her.She glanced at me, a pleading look in her eyes, but Bella snarled.“Don’t you dare look at him!”I couldn’t see Bella’s face, but her voice shook with a strange fury, and the fear on Clara’s face was an indicator of just how scary Bella must have looked.“He’s mine, and if I catch you near him again, I’ll kill you, understand?”My heart st
